When did I make that claim?

Because the law and decency prohibit you from shooting someone for
taking property.  If you do not like this state of affairs, I suggest
that you lobby your local representative.  Meanwhile, it is illegal to
murder for a TV.  Are your views prevalent in the gun rights crowd?

I do not.  Please post my words to that effect.  One right you do have
is to report the crime and have government legally administer
punishment.

If we heeded yours, we would live in a vigilante society.
